\subsection{Getting Started: Antenna Design Example}
\begin{frame}{Getting Started: Antenna Design Example}
	\begin{itemize}
	\item \emph{I Want to design antennas!}
	\item The pragmatic approach: Theory from practice
		\begin{itemize}
		\item Start with simplest antennas (dipole, patch)
		\item Simplest softwares: NECWin
		\item Limitation: Only wire antennas
		\item What if I want to design a patch? Use XFDTD or HFSS
		\item Simplest patch antenna design
		\item Center frequency ($f_{0}$) dependent on dimension and $e_{r}$ of substrate
		\end{itemize}
	\item Change parameters
		\begin{itemize}
		\item What happens when I change simulation parameters?
		\item Is there a formula I can compare with?
		\end{itemize}
	\item Record observations
		\begin{itemize}
		\item Reducing dimensions increases $f_{0}$
		\item Increasing $\epsilon_{r}$ decreases $f_{0}$
		\end{itemize}
	\item \emph{I can design a simple patch antenna for a certain $f_{0}$!}
